Site-Shot MCP Server

Site-Shot MCP server

Give Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents the ability to see any web page — take website screenshots with Site-Shot over the Model Context Protocol.

Real Chromium rendering · full-page capture · country proxies · automatic ad & cookie-banner removal (cleaner images, fewer vision tokens).

Quick start (Claude Desktop)

1. Get a Site-Shot API key at https://www.site-shot.com/pricing/.
2. Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "site-shot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "site-shot-mcp"],
      "env": { "SITESHOT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop. Ask it to "take a full-page screenshot of https://news.ycombinator.com" and it will call the server and show you the image.

Works the same way in any MCP client (Cursor, Cline, VS Code, LangChain, CrewAI) — point the client at npx -y site-shot-mcp with SITESHOT_API_KEY in the environment.

Configuration

Env var	Required	Description
SITESHOT_API_KEY	yes	Your Site-Shot API key (used as userkey).

The server is a thin wrapper over the existing Site-Shot HTTP API (https://api.site-shot.com/) — no separate backend.

Local development

npm install
npm run check   # syntax check
npm run smoke   # offline tests (stubbed fetch, no API key needed)
SITESHOT_API_KEY=yourkey npm start   # run the server on stdio

Requirements

Node.js ≥ 18 (uses the built-in fetch).
